I Wish Someone Would Call Me Mommy

Linda Louise Johnson
Just once more

l want to hear a little voice

call me Mommy.

I woke up, Mommy,

Come get me.

Mommy!

Can we play a game? Can we?

Come play with me

Mommy

I'm hungry

Mommy

Tell me a story.

Mommy

Can I go too? Can I?

I'll be good I promise.

Mommy

Look I made a picture, see?

Look how fast I run

Watch me swim

see me ride

swing me.

Mommy!

I love you.

Just once more

I want to hear

a little voice

call me Mommy.

    How ironic that I read this today. After church a young girl was saying all she really wanted to be was a stay-at-home mom. I applaud women like that because motherhood is a very important role to play nin a child's life. Even though you long to hear those words again, I'm sure you are a mother-figure to many. Great sentiment.

    I think the cats learned the word Mama. They certainly sound like it and it's said in a demanding voice.
